Con kieán

Moät truyeän nguï ngoân...

Hay laø

Coù theå khoâng phaûi....

Every day, a small ant arrives at work very early and

starts work immediately.

Moãi ngaøy, chuù kieán nhoû ñeàu ñi laøm raát sôùm vaø baét tay

vaøo vieäc ngay.

He produces a lots and very happy.

Chuù kieán laøm vieäc raát gioûi, vaø luoân vui veû.

The Chief, a lion,

was surprised to see that

the ant was working

without supervision.

OÂng chuû cuûa chuù, laø con sö

töû, raát ngaïc nhieân khi thaáy

chuù kieán laøm vieäc maø khoâng

caàn söï giaùm saùt.

He thought if the ant can

produce so much without

supervision, wouldn‟t she

produce even more if she had

a supervisor!

Con sö töû suy nghó, chuù kieán

So he recruited a cockroach

who had extensive

experience as supervisor and

who was famous for writing

excellent reports.

The cockroach‟s first decision

was to set up a clocking in

attendance system.

Sau khi ñöôïc thueâ, quyeát ñònh

He also needed a secretary

to help him write and type

his reports and …

Con giaùn cuõng caàn 1 thö kyù

ñeå thay noù vieát ghi chuù hay

laøm baùo caùo, vaø theá laø...

... he recruited a spider, who

managed the archives and

monitored all phone calls.

... noù thueâ 1 con nheän, chæ

ñeå quaûn lyù baùo caùo vaø nhaän

The lion was delighted with the

cockroach's reports

and asked him to produce graphs

to describe production rates and

to analyse trends, so that he

could use them for presentations

at Board„s meetings.

Con sö töû raát haøi loøng veà nhöõng baùo

So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a

laser printer and ...

Theá laø con giaùn mua 1 caùi maùy vi tính môùi, cuøng vôùi

1 maùy in lazer, vaø...

... recruited a fly to manage

the IT department.

... noù thueâ 1 con ruoài ñeå

laøm quaûn lyù boä phaän IT.

The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed,

hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings

which used up most of her time…!

Nhaéc tôùi con kieán, luùc tröôùc laøm vieäc raát chaêm vaø thoaûi

The lion came to the

conclusion that it was high

time to nominate a person

in charge of the department

where the ant worked.

OÂng chuû sö töû ñi ñeán keát luaän

The position was given to the

cicada, whose first decision was to

buy a carpet and an ergonomic

chair for his office.

The new person in charge, the cicada,

also needed a computer and a personal

assistant, who he brought from his

previous department, to help him

prepare a Work and Budget Control

Strategic Optimisation Plan …

The Department where the ant

works is now a sad place, where

nobody laughs anymore and

everybody has become upset...

Vaên phoøng con kieán laøm vieäc trôû

It was at that time that the

cicada convinced the boss ,

the lion, of the absolute

necessity to start a climatic

study of the environment .

Having reviewed the

charges for running the

ant‟s department , the lion

found out that the

production was much less

than before.

Sau khi xem laïi caùc baùo caùo

So he recruited the

owl , a prestigious and

renowned consultant

to carry out an audit

and suggest solutions.

The owl spent three

months in the

department and came

up with an enormous

report , in several

volumes,

that concluded :

“ The department is

overstaffed ...”

Con cuù boû ra 3 thaùng ñeå nghieân cöùu veà vaên phoøng vaø

Guess who the lion fires first?

Ñoaùn xem oâng chuû sö töû sa thaûi ai ñaàu tieân?

The ant , of course, because he

“showed lack of motivation and had a negative

attitude".

Dó nhieân seõ laø con kieán, vì noù ‚thieáu ñoäng cô laøm vieäc
